First-Year and Transfer Communities
Welcome to the University of Oregon!
Our Experience Communities are self-paced learning platforms that provide resources, activities, and discussions designed to help you make connections and achieve success in your first-year at the University of Oregon. The platform is similar to Canvas, making it easy to navigate, and content is updated each term.
New students are automatically enrolled in the community before the start of their first term.

The First-Year Experience Community offers first-year students a place to independently navigate University of Oregon resources while gaining vital college knowledge that supports student success. It has everything from academic and success resources, to well-being tools, to advice from students and faculty, to a place where insightful conversations can occur.
Transfer-Year Experience Community
The Transfer-Year Experience Community provides information and resources specifically tailored to new transfer students, who sometimes face different challenges while adjusting to UO.

Why Join A Community?
Besides the vast resource content available to help students with their first-year success plan, the communities also include mentorship.
